Yeah, so,
life’s a mess.
A royal -? A supreme -? A beautiful
mess?
Well... perhaps; but a big mess
Nonetheless.
*******************

I’ve got a black half moon under each
of my eyes green.
The skin hangs
from this flesh, this mass of knots
and folds;
it hangs & covers me white, brittle and very
Permeable.

Electricity surges through the silence
of the Sunday noon tram ride.
People are staring aimlessly,
thinking to themselves: “I’m invisible, far away
from most things;
and now it’s your turn to tell me
I’m special.”

The sky keeps lying, undecidedly; it mirrors
white, then gray, then blue in the one blind eye
of each Cyclops car.
We glide across the city
and above the city glides her sky.
*********************

Yes.
This is silence.
Love shut up two weeks ago, when
You told me you’ve finally
found the one bond that’s
shackle-free.

Still, when you cast your eyes upon me
the following time
I discovered, to my amazement,
my own reflection
trapped right there,
in your iris.
I guess
you must be carrying me around
quite like one does a benign tumor –
harmless; yet such a nuisance.
*************************

The tram slips me away,
Onwards. The sky mirrors
you as your eyes cloud up with my words;
you pick an imaginary
cigarette, turn to face me
and say:
“Yeah, so,
life’s a mess…”
